Budgie - Slipaway

[jimtiv]

FMOB's .. takes me back !!. Some used to joke that the best thing ever to come out of Wales was the severn bridge, but I would protest !!. It was without doubt BUDGIE .. the great unsung HERO'S of the 70's rock scene, ans still good to this day .. Burke Shelly should have got a knight hood , but given he's Welsh I suppose he should be grateful he wasn't hanged by the Britts for being so amazing !!.

There is a free app about the making of Budgie's Bandolier ablum in the iTunes store. It can be located in the iTunes store by searching

on Bandolier Budgie. Here's an iTunes preview page about the app:

Made for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Check it out if you have iTunes.

No singer could startle like Burke Shelley could.

Slipaway spends a minute seemingly introducing a straightforward rock ballad, then suddenly we have a latin-jazz inflected verse, with Burke's high, elegant and supple voice light years removed from "rock"!

[Meehowski]

Epic............

[m00nracer]

beautiful... I remember now that once upon a time music meant more than brainwashing kids out of their money.

[ANGLOSAXONGOD]

Eargasm !!!

[lxlandia]

@ANGLOSAXONGOD yes...I must agree. This is ear candy and I can listen to this one endlessly.

[cocaine172]

Exelente cancion... desde Lima-Peru. Diego.



[hytlerson]

I've just discovered something new and interesting...

[ParisSpleen74]

tunes to make love to :)

[Liamoooooooo]

Pity there's no live footage of this brilliant song. around. Even a lyp-sync would be totally accepable!. Anyone know if such vidz can be found ? ANYWHERE? Best thing that Wales EVER produced Bar None!

[SuperChristianMetal]

Bandolier was their best album.

[GRILLBUOY101]

[wyattfourie]

@garbus77 i have the first albums willing to part awsome in capetown denver

[wyattfourie]

@garbus77

i have the earlier albums and willing to part

[justdoitasshole]

@wyattfourie This brings up a couple of points with me: First, I would LOVE to get my hands on any of the early albums, and second, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO PART WITH THEM? Are you a crazy man?!

LMK if you are serious about letting them go, and what you might want for them. Probably more than I have right now, but a guy can dream, right?

[Billiam886]

@garbus77 Have you ever heard of Nektar? Check them out,the LP "Remember the Future" is all one song bad ass !!

[ntcutterl]

@jsnhrv Impeckable is their 7th.

[guggsdugrass]

@jsnhrv there are useful gadgets called google and wikipedia

[jsnhrv]

@guggsdugrass No shit,really!!!!!!

[51mcm]

@jsnhrv #if i was britannica i'd waive the rules (1976)

[Spaetza]

I love this.

[Zamaskowanygongo]

Hard rock+ bossa nova:}

[electrichaggis]

classic stuff one of the great bands of the 70's and 80's !!!

[SoapShopRocker]

Budgie is playing Live in Ohio, U.S.A - at the Agora - May 31, 2010. Hard to believe after all these years this great band is still around - Super !

[mdelair420]

@SoapShopRocker do you know of their tour schedual.please let me know im a huge fan they are in my top five bands.going to see rush for the 8th time. they are doing the entire moving pictures album. also going to see the wall as well waters and compy .prob choas radio,peace and thanks to any one who can help me.

[trviewer]

Thanx for the post. Tony B. was one of the best guitarists and under rated. Beautiful sound! I think we all like a romantic song once in a while. Great band! Hope to see the remasters and MP3 downloads soon. I like all the stuff prior to 1978 !

[jmsbk12345]

The best Budgie albums are the first and second one closely followed by the third album. 4 and 5 are good too. The heaviest album is the first one - switch the volume right up.

[mdelair420]

all thier tunes are great they are the rush of welsh country.thats were they are from.peaceout

[mdelair420]

this band is so good and no one knows it.sad. except for the lucky

[TheWolfboyy]

budgie rules,,man i remember playing this on my 8 track in my car on grad night 1975,, really loud,,,yeah

[angelazzz1]

in the morning light of day leaves are falling slip away slip away with me.......

[Grampallica4]

ALL BUDGIE ROCKS! Bought my first Budgie import album 37 years ago.Awesome.Thanks for posting.

[justdoitasshole]

Have you ever heard anyone say anything bad about Budgie? For that matter, how many have never heard (of) them?

Kinda sad....one of the most underrated bands of all time. Napoleon Bona Pt. 2 is a fucking revelation.

[Paulsworks]

YEAH BABY!!!!!

[zeppelinrulez22]

@justdoitasshole i agree with you, they are very underrated and Napolean Bona Pt. 1 & 2 is awesome! they deserve much more recognition than they get

[SuperUnbeliever]

lovely track by an amazing band, and the best album cover i have ever seen.

[mdelair420]

amazing song,chills

[kimsie122112]

[vhfanjack]

This aint Craig Goldy

[pathfinderdaddy]

I played this album over and over, then some skank metal whore ripped it. CD is hard to find. This band was right up there w/ and over Rush and others, I don't know what happened. I'm thinking they got swindled by a record label or their manager ripped them off, or one of the members met a bloody Yokoshedemon who sniveled and the other two said later, lose the whore and we'll try it again. Sorry, got carried away in music biz Hell.

[muz66]

Budgie are astill going strong, still performing on a regular basis. Been a great band for well over 30 years. First saw them in 1978. Blody brilliant!

[theffintruth]

I had this album stolen from my car. This is a GREAT album. I only found out about them because of so many Bands that do cover songs of theirs. They are AWESOME!!!

[mdelair420]

yeah i found all there albums on pirates bay i just have to steal them i guess if that the only way it will be written it will be done.i also found out of you look into mca records you can find alot of unrelaesed music.i want to get crash landing by hendrix anoyher hard album to find.love this band only second to rush for me.its just that lyicaly rush is so over welming.write me back we acn hunt for some budgie albums.i have wanted to get their albums since vinyle died.peace

[pressgangers]

You gotta love a bit of Budgie . With burke shelley`s falsetto voice, So high pitched only dogs and Geddy Lee can hear,

[modicastar]

@pressgangers hilarious!!  Geddy Lee lol

[scratchwhiplash]

I think this is Tony Bourge on guitar...

[airsoftdude8675309]

impeckable?? worst budgie album ever?? you smoking crack? impeckable is awesome.

[jamburg48]

I've got impeckable it's the worst budgie ever,are you sure you want it.

[mdelair420]

love this band but they are hard to find any where,please help me i need impeckable and dont turn your back on a friend ,and a few others.thankyou to all who care about the music.

[tullynewyork]

I've been cruising the Tube also and I can't find a bad Budgie tune out there. The guitar player is tops!

[Fyllbulten]

I have never really heard Budgie before, but after checking some of the songs on Youtube out , I know I´m on to something big. I love what I´m hearing and this means a lot to me. Budgie is fantastic.

[sgr202060]

I have my bic and my Bong!

[naterai]

AWESOME !!! INCREDIBLE SONG..

[ole9872]

This is great stuff! What album should i buy first people? peace

[garbus77]

"Never Turn Your Back on a Friend"

[Paulsworks]

Excellent recomendation

[mdelair420]

@garbus77 so true garbus77 thats my fav of theirs. great advice.the song parents is so f'n good its sick. thanks for posting a class act like the boys here.budgie is coming with in a 2 hour road trip. im going to see them i dont care what it takes. chance of a life time. i live in florida so sometimes we get passed cause its hard to fly down here and then move to next show. so true luck i may see them.peace.

[Drblooter99]

@mdelair420

Aren't they fantastic, and isn't this track beautiful? Shelley sounds like a jazz singer. He was that versatile, that good, and Budgie were a lot more than a "hard rock" band. Burke lives in my city of Cardiff UK and goes to a local rock pub. I've chatted with him a few times. He's a great guy, really friendly. I said where did "Hot As a Docker's Armpit" come from. He told me Steve Marriot (Faces, Humble Pie) used to often say it. Straight from the Budgie's mouth I got that!

[FLOYDRIX]

squawk... its really hot, even garbus77 is sure to agree. you cant go wrong either way brother.

[garbus77]

first five lp's are the best

[Paulsworks]

Right you are Ava.

[mdelair420]

@FLOYDRIX hey if you want i can tell you a site its real good never had problem sounds are always good.well i took every album budgie ever made they had the whole list so i have them all except a hits album i did not need cause i had all of them on the albums so if you want ill help you aquire all their albums for free. i bought one disc off the budgie welsh rockers site.they sell the cds of the past albums they are not cheap.. so i boot legged them.peace.

[ztormar]

@ole9872 start with the first and stop before Impeckable, the last 3 is rubbish, though there are 1 or 2 realy nice stray cats on Nightfligt and Power Supply:)

[mdelair420]

sounds like a good buzz feels mellow

[numptynoggin]

cheers for this proper blast from the past-quality

[LeHiGuy1]

Fucking Awesome group that never got the recognition that it earned. To It's fans Budgie could stand up to Led Zep any time and hold their own. Superb

[mdelair420]

bugdie is only second in my world to rush who are the tecs of progresion and technicalness

[Paulsworks]

Budgie are the "Masters of DYNAMICS".

[cmarivs]

@LeHiGuy1 and easily at that :D

[57ong]

@LeHiGuy1... agreed! no doubt about it...and to think they're only 3 piece.

[konfisia]

jest zajebisty :O)
